Staff Engineer

Location Details: India, Remote

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.​

This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.   

Join our team... 

GoDaddy is building a central developer platform that changes how thousands of engineers deploy their applications. It's a single pane of glass for application deployment: commoditized infrastructure, opinionated patterns, and expert runtime support so developers can focus on their product instead of AWS plumbing. 

The platform orchestrates across multiple AWS accounts, enforces compliance standards automatically through the platform itself, and serves as a foundation that other teams build managed services on top of. We have hundreds of applications on the platform already, but we've only just begun — database management and broader service coverage are on the horizon. This is a software development role covering the full range, from automating infrastructure to adding features to our UI and everything in between. We are a team of seven engineers supported by a dedicated SRE team of three, collaborating remotely across time zones from the US to India 

What you'll get to do...

• Architect and lead the evolution of the platform, shaping long‑term technical direction and system design
• Own large, cross‑cutting platform initiatives end‑to‑end, from conception through delivery
• Drive engineering excellence by improving resilience, scalability, and developer experience across internal platforms
• Partner closely with internal customers and stakeholders to solve complex technical problems
• Mentor engineers and influence technical standards, sharing best practices across the wider organisation

Your experience should include...

• 8+ years of experience building production‑grade systems using TypeScript and Node.js in a platform or full‑stack environment 
• Deep experience designing and owning architectures for large‑scale distributed systems on AWS 
• Expert‑level hands‑on experience with AWS CDK, making infrastructure and architectural decisions at scale 
• Proven ability to make and defend complex technical and architectural trade‑offs with long‑term impact 
• Strong technical leadership and mentoring experience, setting technical direction and raising the engineering bar across teams

You might also have...

• Experience with React.js
• Experience using Elasticsearch for observability, monitoring, or logging at scale
• Strong understanding of observability patterns and tooling across distributed systems
• Exposure to agentic or AI‑assisted coding approaches in real‑world engineering workflows
• Experience building or evolving developer platforms or internal tooling

We've got your back...  We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, retirement savings (e.g., 401k, pension schemes), bonus/incentive eligibility, equity grants, participation in our employee stock purchase plan, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits including parental leave. GoDaddy’s benefits vary based on individual role and location and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.

We also embrace our diverse culture and offer a range of Employee Resource Groups (Culture). Have a side hustle? No problem. We love entrepreneurs! Most importantly, come as you are and make your own way. 

We encourage you to apply even if your experience or skillset doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement. We value a wide range of backgrounds and transferable skills, and we are excited to support learning and growth.
